Mark your calendar. The date is confirmed for the official LUSTER Art Exhibition launch at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky, to unveil my two supersized artworks celebrating Corvette’s 70th anniversary as America’s Sports Car.
This year’s Specialty Equipment Manufacturers Association Show was the biggest, baddest, best car show I’ve ever attended.
The LUSTER Exhibition, hosted by the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts has been extended at the Blue Buffalo Art Gallery through February 14, 2024 with an impressive showing of automotive and motorcycle artworks.
Yes, artists have a holiday, too. Celebrating each October 25th, International Artist Day honors the contribution artists have and are making to society. The day commemorates the importance of art as an essential medium of human expression.
Oh, how things have changed, especially in the Internet world.
Today, the ADCook.com website features nearly a hundred pages of content, about five hundred and fifty blog posts and updates, over a hundred and fifty artworks, and nearly three thousand images.
The Las Vegas Corvette Association recently marked a major milestone as it commemorated fifty years of existence. In what turned out to be a truly remarkable showcase, the association exhibited a wide range of sixty (give or take a few) Corvettes that spanned seven decades of America’s Sports Car’s illustrious existence.
I’m excited to share something new from the studio and a departure regarding my figurative metal creations. ELYSIAN DREAM started as a simple little sketch over a cold beer. I must have been drawn to the shapes because I sketched them several times over a few sessions before finally power grinding and sanding metal and beginning to paint. But once I got started, the artwork flowed like a dream.

The Merriam-Webster Time Traveler tells you when a word was first used in print. I also love its other feature, the “Select a Year” button, where you can enter any year and see what words were published that year.
So, what is a polymath? A Polymath is defined as someone who excels in multiple fields of knowledge. Today, we might refer to that person as a “jack of all trades” — and some might suggest “a master of none.” I have to laugh at the master of none thought. I believe that a polymath is a person of many talents who also masters a few along the way.
Most dictionaries define momentum as motion or a series of events and speak of mass and velocity. My new art in the studio is all of that! I could not be more excited as my latest artwork, MOMENTUM, moves forward. Momentum is not about light speed. After all, the difference between the 1953 Corvette and the 2023 Corvette is seven decades of choreographed steps to get from there to here. Nothing great happens overnight.
My musically gifted friend, Bonzai Caruso, sent me a soothing rhythmic tune that I wanted to share with you. This relaxing music, he suggested, compliments my latest metal artwork, ETERNAL, so I felt it only fitting to create a short video with both sight and sound — an eyes-wide-open meditative experience.
